Off tomorrow? That’s crazy! Mines on for 7 days but it’s a vaccuum one and feels so weird. Did they not give you oramorph to take home? I’ve used quarter of a bottle already. If I sit for too long it’s like I can feel every stitch in every layer. We came home last night at 11, it was a pretty rough night until me and Mr R started taking it in turns to sleep. I hadn’t slept since Tuesday until 4:30 this morning which meant I had a really deep sleep and woke up soooo stiff 2 hours later. I couldn’t even move my legs 
Are you struggling with swollen legs/feet too? My feet are absolutely huge I can’t even get a croc on anymore
Definitely don’t do any hoovering!! I can’t talk though I keep trying to do everything myself and getting shouted at I lifted up the full steriliser bucket earlier and Mr R screamed at me while I also screamed in pain
Go Baby Watermelon, that’s great for her weight! Shes doing so well
After all my worrying about Baby R being huge I’ve had to send people out for newborn clothes and even they’re big on him
I just can’t stop staring at him

Just an update on my bleeding.. I bled none stop for 5 days (at roughly 5 weeks pregnant), the bleeding got worse, then cramping and severe left ovary pain started, so I really feared the worst. I went for an emergency scan today
I’m pleased to say all looks well so far! I’m just 5 weeks (they didn’t want to scan me but the pregnancy could have been molar or ectopic) so they’d done one today (instead of next week as they’d originally told me). They don’t know why I was bleeding, but they’re treating me as high risk and giving me extra monitoring, scans, and meds now. I’m still bleeding, but they’re not worried about that and they said I should celebrate this, and it all looks good so far, with things exactly as they should be
It’s probably my cervix/ something hormonal, but it remains a mystery. I wasn’t going to post on here as I’m scared of jinxing things after previous losses (and the whole thing has RUINED my mental health), but I hoped it might help others who experienced the same as me at my point if they’re reading this in the future and it happens to them. I’ve had dark brown bleeding literally constantly for 5 days now, which would class as moderate, and yet things still look okay. I don’t want to make the post too triggering by being more descriptive, but it honestly looked like I’d lost the pregnancy and we weren’t expecting to see anything left on the scan today. I’m so grateful to the ladies on here that shared their experience with bleeds that didn’t automatically mean bad news or a sad outcome because it really gave me hope and was the only thing getting me through this week.
I’m going to dip out this thread for now for the sake of my mental health (the stress has been unbearable, perhaps due to the other losses I’ve had too, and I’m really over analysing everything so need to pretend I’m not pregnant for a bit) but I hope I’ll be back soon! Lots of love and good luck to you all, and I hope we’ll be sharing nice news again soon 🩷🩷

Baby Watermelon will be here in a couple days by the sounds of it!
@raspberryjuice Shall we place a bet which fruit baby will be here first?

Scan went great!! It’s so amazing how much they grow in just a week or so! Both babies doing great, confirmed fraternal twins (as expected) official due date is 1st Dec but will more than likely be a 37w c section. @aggytha are you having a section?
Oh my god, I guess now we need to tell people, what a minefield this is going to be

We ended up getting discharged from hospital at 9pm last night! So much for a 48 hour stay 
baby girl is doing great, the 4am pregnancy insomnia has totally helped. I’m already well prepared for her 4:30 bottle

The staff seem much better this morning. Baby R’s HR is more settled but his movements still aren’t right. The MW I’ve seen already agreed that the adhd comments from yesterday were ridiculous and she can’t understand why they’d make me wait til weds like this either. Shes gone to hunt down a doctor to ask questions and get a plan for us.
I’ve had the MW I’ve got this morning before when I came in with a massive bleed and she was brilliant then and really listened and supported me and Mr R so I have faith that she’s listening again today

Hi ladies 
joining again at (i think) bang on 4w pregnant following a loss in February 
Feeling a bit more positive this time around as my last pregnancy had a lot of problems before eventual MC and I was a ball of anxiety but this time I feel a bit more chilled and trusting of my body which I’m taking as a good sign!

I’m really fed up now. I’ve just had a MW appt and surprise surprise baby isn’t happy, heart rate too high, not correlating to movements and accelerations way above what they should be - exactly the same as when I was in triage on Saturday night and last weds 
she’s sending us in to hospital so hopefully they actually do something this time rather than endless monitoring then sending us home. Hes clearly not a happy bunny in there.

Hi guys. So I went into hospital today for my weekly
scan and CTG. Today was my growth scan after the last one I had a fortnight ago. Baby was measuring 4lb 8oz last time which was right on the scale for that time but they said she hasn’t gained weight since then and they want me to stay in overnight because they aren’t happy with her movements and her size They said if her movements are ok following my 6 hour ctg’s I can go home tomorrow and I will be induced this Thursday. If they aren’t happy with her movements after tonight, they are going to get her out sooner than Thursday.
So I’ve got my own little room on the ward and I’ve got my next CTG at 8pm my sister has been with me all afternoon, she’s just gone to sort my 4yo out with my partner. I’m eating the hospital
biscuits with a cup of tea feeling all sorry for myself!!

Think I’ll be taking a break - 5 weeks and I’ve just started spotting 
trying not to think the worst but after a couple of losses already I’m absolutely terrified. EPU will be seeing me next week but until then it’s just waiting to see what happens. It’s light brown blood in small amounts so I’m trying to keep some hope but I’ve had such a rough journey already that I don’t feel confident

How are you and baby Raspberry @raspberryjuice ?
I find myself coming on and checking this thread whenever I’m free! It’s so weird as I used it as a support network whilst I was pregnant then suddenly you’re not pregnant so there’s not really any point me being here, but I’m so interested and invested in a bunch of strangers’ on the internets pregnancies and hope everyone is okay!? I said I didn’t like being pregnant, but I do miss it Maybe it’s because my body is sore and it weren’t as sore as this when up the duff

Evening ladies, hope you’re all ok. Excited there may be 3 new babies this week 
We went for a private scan today, I’m 10 weeks exactly. Both babies are doing well, the smaller one has caught up now and it was so amazing to see them both doing well and floating around in there.
Am in actual awe that this is really happening

@raspberryjuice this is proper random and not pregnancy related at all, but I bought a pack of those kool n soothes for labour and I didn’t use them. So I’ve had a bit of a headache the last few days, used 2 of the kool n soothes the first day and it kept sliding off my head and it was making me angry and I said to my fella ‘these are shit they just slide off my head!’ he was like ‘your head must be that massive it can’t handle the sheet’ just tried putting on another and it slid off so i was like ‘how the fuck do people bother with these?!’ read the directions and it says ‘take the strip off’ didn’t even realise there was a strip on it and that’s why they were sliding off my head So i’m happy now with a kool n soothe sheet on my forehead
